Tom Brady Is the Only Player Who Likes Bill Belichick, According to DeAngelo Williams
The Steelers running back said he would never play for the Patriots.
-
Who, Belichick? Pretty much the exact opposite of a player's coach.
Exactly
and yet somehow his players love him... almost to a man...
As they do Hue..... except maybe Mingo, Kruger and Lee - a bust draft pick, a bust FA and a player that gave up in an organized game.
Doubt Hue cares much what those 3 think of him ............ I sure don't.

So would you eliminate the running into the kicker penalty? Quarterbacks get knocked on their ass after the pass all the time.To accommodate their frail frames. Yet still, they need to make an effort to prevent a touchdown.
And if preseason is that important shouldn't the first team be in a lot more?

Yeah I would because accidentally bumping into someone should not be a penalty. Crushing someone well after the play is already covered by other rules.
Even in the preseason, players are supposed to make an effort to do their job. After a returner gets far enough down the field, a punter is supposed to try to tackle the returner. Throwing your hands up and power walking towards the runner makes you look like a giant asshole to the coaches and your teammates.

I'm not getting the hysteria over every move this coaching staff and front office make.I still think this team will win more than last years team and I'm hopeful to be building in the right direction. I'm certainly not going to get all worked up about trading a punter for another punter and a 4th round pick.
Kruger was a solid player, but he was getting up there, why the heck would you cut
a new, young player that has more skills, more powerful a rusher?
and Lee... terrific punter. How is it that he doesn't win games by himself?
Oh yeah, it's a team game, and the Browns are building a team. That failure to even
try to cover a punt just said a lot. Bring in another punter, get a 4th round pick,
and continue building a TEAM, where everybody is on the same page, and the best talent
takes the field. How else can they finally build a WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM here in Cleveland
if they don't start doing stuff, making hard choices, bringing in more, better, hungrier,
faster, etc talent?
I also see the Browns winning more games than last season. It takes time to get so much
together.

Hue came out and said Andy not trying to tackle the guy wasn't the reason he got sent packing. The reason he got traded was (only 1\2 kidding) Depodesta's aim is to have EVERY pick in the 2025 draft. LOL, he won't last that long. To your last point- Lee was clearly a better talent than what we got in return. Looks like the FO values future draft picks more than talent- or current wins. I tell ya Cal- this year it's "Dumpster Dive for DeShawn". Me & Mud are seeing it- (as well as Ghoolie). Eventually after 6-8 losses you'll come around to our POV.

Current wins were going to be few and far between anyway and so it should have not been confusing to anyone that they intended on stripping the team down to stock the shelves. The true test will be what they do with the draft picks. If they get all of those picks and screw them up then they will have their walking papers in 3-4 years.
Also, the Browns could be playing in the Super Bowl and Ghoolie would be badmouthing the team. The guy is a troll. At least I hope. If not, then he is a certified helmet head.

Do people understand that more wins than last year means a minimum of 4 wins?
If N.O or K.C sign Krug before game 1 they pay his old 1 year salary due? or After game 1,it's a new deal? There is a sucker born everyday..Tick Tock
Vested vets (like Krugs) who are released during the trading period (which we are in) are instant FAs with no contract attached to them.
Unvested players, players with fewer than four years accrued service, go through waivers and their contract goes with them through the waiver process. Once they "clear" waivers, then they are contractless.
Vested vets released outside the trading period are subject to waivers.

That's debatable but ok. They love Saban too.

True enough- but I think we're in for a year of incredible suckage. The question is will the general fanbase be willing to put up with yet another year of that? I'll buy my season tickets regardless, but more and more fans are falling into the "casual" category & no longer invested emotionally with the team. Regarding Tom (Ghoolie)- yup I've met him several times, and in person he's pretty likeable. MHO is the reason he's been right so many times in the past is not through some Nostradamus like ability- it's the Browns have been comically inept over the last 15 or so years. My first round draft prognostications have been way better than Cleveland's- and that's not very hard to do. We wouldn't have had to deal with Smokin' Willie Green, Butterfingers Braylon, Quinn, Wee-done, Richardson, or Manziel.

By the way we keep reverting back to the understandable argument that we only won three games last year with the veteran players. Okay but isn't Hugh Jackson supposed to be a Hotshot coach? And Ray Horton? G-wiz aren't these guys a long shot better then Mike Pettine and Jim O'Neill?
So is it the coaching or the talent?

Im not sure Jimmah will be that patient.

Guys like Mud, Mik, Tour, and myself weren't blaming Pettine & Co last year (we were in the minority).So is it the coaching or the talent?

Stevie Wonder could see that the team was nearly void of talent...and it's even going to be worse this year.

Correct....many that are NOW saying "we knew they were gonna tank the season", are the same guys that were screaming we had talent being wasted by bad coaches last year.....AND.....that Hue would immediately improve the team(by several wins too) , just based upon coaching.....then, add our hotshot new FO and a great draft and we're almost in playoffs.....
Now....suddenly.....it's "OH, we knew they were cutting all the vets and stripping the team and tanking the season....it was obvious".....blah blah blah

See above....agreed....but, now, suddenly we are the ones who didnt know.....sheesh....

If he was traded for lagging a tackle. Ask the steelers how they like their kickers making tackles?

As I said earlier in the thread- that wasn't the reason he got sent packing.

@ghoolie said:
When the punter is your headline, your team is in the shitter.
To be fair he was a decent punter. And at least our media isn't talking about "Johnny Football" anymore.
-
I guarantee Lee's trade will always be mentioned by ESPN as being "solely because" he didn't lay out for the opportunity to bounce off some dude with a full head of steam. This is analogous to Kruger always being described as having "covered a lot" last season.
Never mind that this trade is the absolute best for a punter that we could have ever hoped for.
If we need to trade up for something, this will be part of the ammunition.
-
Yeah, he was a very good punter, but a fourth round pick is absolutely insane. We are stockpiling picks like crazy, and now we just need to use them correctly. The good news is, if RG III doesn't work out, we'll have a ton of ammunition needed to move up to grab one of the top prospects. If Deshawn Watson has the type of year many predict, I seriously doubt we'll be able to get him ONLY because so many different things would have to work out. For instance, a team that DOESN'T need a QB would have to own the first overall pick, AND we'd have to be willing to pay the exorbitant asking price. This regime appears more intent on gathering picks than trading them, but we'll see. I'd rather focus on this year and hope to the heavens that Robert is the guy we've been hoping for.
-
I have no fear that we won't get the first pick.
You'll know the first pick is in sight when Tour stops doing his OL analysis because he doesn't want to lose faith in humanity.
